Restoring the Intraradicular Space

Before extracting a fractured tooth and placing an implant, the conservative route deserves to be exhausted, and there the post and core still have a great deal to offer. Douglas A. Terry traces the evolution of these systems and carries the concept of adhesive design over to the restoration of the intraradicular space, with dedicated chapters on compromised and terminal endodontically treated teeth. Coverage is complete: design criteria, post components and materials, adhesives and luting agents, material selection, core build-up and extracoronal restoration. An English-language text for the restorative dentist and the endodontist who want sound criteria for deciding between keeping and replacing.
